Capo on 4th fret! All chords related to capo.

This is basically the same as the other tab that's on here, I just realized it was 
simpler to play it with a capo on.
Enjoy.

E                    A
Meet the son of a Government man
E               A
and a pillar of salt
E                   A
I was born with blood on my hands and
      D                 A
have all signs of a bleeding heart

E                 A
Living high on a giant hog
E            A
and a mountain so steep
E                     A
keep your head in a hollow log as
      D             A
the ruling fog are about to creep

Bm           E
What have we done?
A               E           D
How'd we get so far from the sun?
Bm                F#
Lost, lost in an oscillating phase
         A            E          D
where a tiny few catch all of the rays

E                  A
Out beyond the western squalls
E            A
In an alien land
E               A
they work for nothing at all
            D                     A
they don't know the mall or the lay-away plan

E                  A
Dig yourself a beautiful grave
E              A
everything you could want
E                A
Maybe those invisible slaves are
     D                   A
too far away for the ghost to


Bm                E
haunt, what will we charge
      A              E       D
for letting go of a claim so large?
Bm             F#
Oh, all of our working days are done
       A                 E          D
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
      A          E            D
Get used to their dust in your lungs


Instrumental Break (play twice)
A D x 3
E

         Bm     F#
Is there no way down
           A             E
from this peak to solid ground
   Bm              F#
without having our gold teeth
                  E     D
pulled from our mouth?

E  D x 2
A (stop)

E    A
Make me a drink
E       A
strong enough
E        A                  D
to wash away the dishwater world
        A
They said was lemonade

E    A
Walk with me
E        A
after the show
E      A          D
Maybe we can find a way
             A
through the minefield in the


Bm              E
snow, what will they charge
      A              E       D
for letting go of a claim so large?
Bm             F#
Oh, all of our working days are done
       A                 E          D
But a tiny few are having all of the fun
  A              E            D
Apologies to the sick and the young
      D          E            A
Get used to their dust in your lungs
